characters live and they are easy to understand by the readers.
The personality included in a figure could be identified because of the
emotion coming
from the character shown by the act, dialogue and mind. All of
them are created when the characters face some conflicts in the story. The special
part of a character is when it is known as someone with moral, emotion, desire
and interest in doing activities.
Character might have feeling as a person. The behavior is designed by the
author. In the real life, people can only guess someone’s feeling and thought
from their activities. In a novel or any literary work, characters can be guess if
their appearance and what they do through the story is written in it. The activities
of the characters are supported by the dialogues that they have. The dialogue that
the characters did in the work is the way for reader to remember the characters.

Theme
Theme is the central idea or ideas explored by a literary work. Theme is
not a message from the work, but it is general subject which can be more than
one idea. It is the first idea of the work when the author starts to write or create
the story. Themes will help reader to determine what to cut from the
story or
novel and what to highlight. DiYanni (2001, p.482) mentioned that a theme is
“an idea or intellectually apprehensive meaning inherent and implicit in a
work.” From the statement, the theme is the central idea that gives attention to
the meaning in a work.
